ANSWERS:

Mostly A: Fall Closure

Listen, you’re a bit of a buzzkill. You’re definitely not the worst but you also don’t make anyone’s life easier. Actually, you can make peoples’ lives harder by generally being a drag. Fall road closures aren’t great but people  kind of expect them to be that way so they’re prepared to be disappointed–kind of how people generally react to you! 

Mostly B: Spring Closure

You’re a Spring I-94 road closure, the wet blanket of road closures and people. You are spineless and love to whine and complain about minor inconveniences that could have been very easily avoided if you put in any effort to be an active participant in your own life. Like a Spring I-94 road closure, you consistently slow people down and make their lives more difficult but still make them feel like it’s actually their fault. Do better! 

Mostly C: Winter Closure

You’re an I-94 Winter closure and whoa—you are a brick wall of inconvenience and frustration. Your commitment to making people’s lives more difficult is unparalleled and frankly, dangerous. While you might think you’re helping others, like an I-94 Winter closure, your relentlessness and dedication to what you perceive as the greater good can actually sends people spiraling, sometimes causing a crash. You are a menace to society! 

Mostly D: Summer Closure

You are an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! There is no way around it. You take pleasure in sowing chaos and discord wherever you go. The I-94 Summer closure makes people feel like they have entered the ninth circle of traffic hell and frankly you, you sentient garbage fire, are already there! And worse—you enjoy it. Take your I-94 Summer closure from whence you came—the power of MnDOT compels you!
